After Tao Kan's death, Yu Liang divided the ridicule into four parts, led by three sons and one nephew, all of whom were named Taishou, each guarding a county. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the mourning, Tao Xia, the new prince of Changsha County, secretly called Tao Bin, Tao Cheng and Tao Zhen, and sighed: "Yu Liang has just taken office as the assassin of Jingzhou, and he divided the Jingzhou Sailor that his father worked so hard to build, I don't know what his intentions are?" ”

Tao Zhen is the cousin of the three brothers, and this time he was promoted by Yu Liang to the Nanjun Taishou of Jingzhou, and he was the first to answer: "It doesn't matter if it's to prevent us." We don't rebel, so there's nothing to worry about. ”

Tao Bin also shouted: "We are not afraid of shadows, there is nothing to worry about, but we should be happy." You see, with the arrival of the new Western Domain, the two elder brothers Zhou Fu and Deng Yue were promoted to assassination. In a few years, if we change to a new feudal lord, will the four of us also have to make a history of assassination? ”

Tao said: "I know what my brother is worried about. However, his father has the merit of rebuilding the Jin family; He is also the life-saving benefactor of the Yu family; Today, he took the initiative to help him up. I don't think he would have taken the initiative to bully my family. ”

Tao Xia sneered: "Our Tao family rebuilt the Jin room, and there is no great credit for Zhou Xi's three determinations in Jiangnan." But the Zhou family has not been killed by Wang Dun. ”

After hearing this, all three of them rushed to the cold wind.

Tao Xia eased the atmosphere and said what he thought in his heart: "The main force of the Tao family army can't be dispersed, I think so, I'll take out half of the property left by my father and divide it among the three of you..."

Hearing this, the three were shocked and overjoyed. Tao Kan was in charge of the financial power of the eight states, and in order to realize the long-cherished wish of the Northern Expedition, he accumulated a mountain of treasures, which was much more than the national treasury, and placed it in Changsha County. Now it is a private treasure of the new Changsha Gong.

But Tao Xia didn't finish speaking: "You only need to take five hundred soldiers to the town, as long as you have these goods, you can't recruit new soldiers." Whoever has the big fist in these years has the right to speak, and our fists cannot be separated. ”

Tao Bin's military talent was the most favored by Tao Kan, and in the past few years, the 4,000 elite soldiers he led were often used as strikers, with one as a hundred. It turned out to be a glass of wine to relieve the army, and Tao Bin became angry when he heard it: "No! I can't bear my subordinates, no matter what, they want to be with me. ”

"Yes, how can recruits have combat effectiveness!" Tao Cheng blurted out.

Tao Xia glared at Tao Cheng fiercely, Tao said that he was young, and quickly changed his words: "I listened to my brother's arrangement." ”

Tao Bin saw this situation, knew that words were not speculative, stood up and said: "My father instructed us to listen to the words of the court before he died, and now that his old man has not been buried, do you have any different plans?" ”

Leave these words behind and walk away.

After a while, Tao Zhen persuaded Tao Xia: "I don't think you have to worry too much about Yu Liang. Wang Dun destroyed the Zhou clan, the prerequisite was a chaotic war in the north, and Wang Dun could arrange it calmly. Now the north of Huanggang is the world of Zhao Jun, Yu Liang is in Wuchang, and the enemy is close at hand, it is too late to hug our thighs, how dare we have other plans? Besides, Yu Liang is a literati, and without Wang Dun's two strokes, he can't come up with Wang Dun's means. ”

Tao said that although he listened to Tao Xia, he was named Jiangxia Taishou. It was the border, the closest to the Zhao army, and he didn't dare to use only the new soldiers. I had to persuade my brother: "Even if I take away the elite soldiers, I will still only be the leader of my brother." Yu Liang dared to bully his brother, so I entered his Wuchang City and burned his Thorn History Mansion with a fire! ”

Tao Xia was unhappy and patted Tao Cheng's shoulder: "Now we can only survive under Yu Liang's snort." ”

The powerful Jingzhou soldiers who ridiculed it in this way were divided into four branches by Yu Liang and have been dismembered.

Tao Kan has a total of seventeen sons, and there are ten people who are still alive today, three of whom are Taishou and four of whom are officials in Beijing, and the other three are too young. The Tao family escorted the hearse back to Changsha for burial. Tao Kan was named the Duke of Changsha County, which is the highest title that a minister can obtain, and then there is a prince, which is generally only awarded to the children of the royal family.

Tao Kan was in charge of Jingzhou for ten years, and was in charge of the military of Jing, Jiang, Guang, Hunan, Liang and other eight states, so it can be said that he was a semi-independent warlord. In particular, two of the three most important states in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jing and Jiang, were controlled by them, and the reserve military funds and money were extremely rich, and they all existed in the feudal country.

Tao Bin was the closest to Changsha, and as a pioneer, he took the lead in Changsha, and when he arrived at home, he found that money and treasures were piled up, and he was greedy. Anyway, I had a falling out with my brother, so I simply didn't do it, and I didn't stop doing it. Without saying a word, he let the soldiers carry them into his camp and quickly ordered people to escort them back to his town.

Tao Kan is not the emperor yet, as soon as he dies, the sons and daughters will enter the rhythm of cannibalism. This deepens our understanding of Shi Hu's usurpation: in order to rely on the scholars politically, the Northern Dynasty chose the prince to take charge of the military power, and every time the emperor died, it was a bloodstained country and a life was ruined!

A few days later, Tao Xia led the entire Tao family back to Changsha, and Tao Kan was buried in the scenery. After everything was arranged, the prince Tao Xia began to count the treasury, this inventory did not matter, so that Tao Xia was surprised, the delicate and valuable property had already been transferred by Tao Bin, Tao Xia was angry.

But Tao Bin was brave and brave, and there were a thousand elite soldiers to protect him, Tao Xia didn't dare to do it, and secretly called Tao Cheng to explain the reason. This time it was Jiangxia Taishou Tao who came to escort him, and he brought two thousand soldiers. Tao Cheng was furious when he heard this, and said: "My father has no last words when he is dying, so all the finances should belong to the third brother." ”

Tao Xia replied: "How dare you, how dare you, I originally planned to give these treasures to all my brothers, but who knew that your seventh brother was so greedy. ”

Tao Cheng replied: "This is not difficult, after the first seven years, we will go back to our respective towns." You feasted the brothers with tea and water in the mansion, and I ordered the sergeant to hide in the mansion, and then catch Tao Bin, not afraid that he would not return the property. ”

Tao Xia followed the plan, feasted all the brothers before leaving, and secretly detained Tao Bin after the banquet and forced Tao Bin to return his property. Who knew that Tao Bin denied it.

Tao Xia was already angry with Tao Bin, and when Yu Liang ordered the four Tao brothers to be Taishou and divide the sergeants equally, Tao Xia, the new Changsha County Gong, who was the second generation of the Tao family, opposed this measure. He hoped to leave the main force of Jingzhou and stay by his side, while the three brothers all led their own divisions and recruited sergeants after arriving at their respective county guards. Only Tao Bin, who was the most warlike, disagreed, and led the tribe loyal to him to the town alone.

In recent years, Tao Kan has repeatedly sent Tao Bin to command military wars as the commander, such as the previous reconquest of Xiangyang, Tao Bin was the commander, and Tao Bin led the main force for a long time, which also made Tao Xia very jealous. Since he offended him, he simply offended to the end and killed Tao Bin in a fit of anger.
